P. 36
'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons,
and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never
knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.'”
These ones are lawless because they did not "do the will of [the] Father." They were
prophesying according to their own will. They were casting out demons according to their
own will. They were performing miracles according to their own will. No matter how much
they said "Lord, Lord" it did not change the fact that they were not subject to the Lordship
of Christ. Rather than being led of the Spirit of God in all of their activities, they were led
by their own will. This is a great note of caution, for many are prophesying in this day, and
casting out demons, and even performing miracles, but they are not all doing so by the
leading of the Spirit of God. These are lawless ones, and Paul prophesies of the "man of
lawlessness" being revealed, taking his seat in the temple of God, which temple we are.
A large majority of believers were wholly led into a confession of Christ that
downplayed the Lordship of Christ and the message of the cross and which emphasized
prosperity, self-fulfillment, and fire insurance to keep oneself out of hell. Such believers
have never embraced a love of the truth, and a love of the person of Yahshua the Messiah,
as well as a desire to be made holy and to be conformed to His image. These believers
wanted to have a ticket to get into heaven when they die and the freedom to pursue the
pleasures of the world while they walk on this earth.
Because these believers motives have been impure, not loving the truth, God has sent
them a strong delusion.
II Thessalonians 2:10-12
Because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved... for this reason
God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is
false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took
pleasure in wickedness.
Many Christians misidentify who is being referred to here because of the statement,
“so as to be saved.” They assume that this is speaking of faith in Christ for the remission of
sins, and so they assume that it is not speaking of believers, but of the lost. However, the
